Watch: Aesop Rock Talks About Collaborating With Kimya Dawson in New Pitchfork.tv Interview

Pitchfork.tv recently sat down for a chat with Aesop Rock, who has been quite busy lately. In addition to touring in support of last year's Skelethon, the rapper just announced a new album from his collaborative project with Kimya Dawson called the Uncluded.

Aesop talked about the general feel he went for with his most recent album ("this vibe that's almost like nervous laughter instead of just nervous"), collaborating with his tourmate Zavala, and working on the Uncluded with Dawson:

"I think we did something that's pretty unique. … I was a Kimya fan for a long time, a Moldy Peaches fan, so I got to work on her Thunder Thighs record a little bit and we became friends and just started writing songs. I found myself writing about shit I had just never written about. Maybe it's just because of how Kimya writes, where it's just very honest and very straight."
